Density-dependent effects on growth, body size, and clutch size in Black Brant

We documented gosling size in late summer, adult body size, and clutch size of known-age Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) females nesting on the Tutakoke River colony between 1986 and 1995. During this period, the colony increased from 1,100 to >5,000 nesting pairs. Gosling mass at 30 days of age declined from 764 ± SE of 13 g and 723 ± 15 g for males and females, respectively, in the 1986 cohort, to 665 ± 18 g and 579 ± 18 g in the 1994 cohort. Gosling size was directly negatively correlated with number of Black Brant broods. We detected no trend in adult body size for individuals from these cohorts; in fact, adults from the 1992 and 1994 cohorts had the largest overall masses. Clutch size increased with age from 3.4 eggs for 2-year-old females to 4.4 eggs for 5-year-old females. Clutch size declined during the study by 0.20 (3-year-old females) to 0.45 (2-year-old females) eggs. Clutch size did not decline between the 1986 and 1990 cohorts for females that were >5 years old. Our results for clutch size and gosling size are similar to those recorded for Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens). Our failure to detect a trend in adult body size, however, differs from the response of other geese to increasing population density. We interpret this difference in effects of density on adult size between Black Brant and other geese as an indication of stronger selection against the smallest individuals in Black Brant relative to other species of geese.

People say don't judge a book by its cover and a girl by her clothes. But sometimes I can't help it; I feel like a coffee addict reaching for a Starbucks Venti Vanilla Latte. Since I've spent endless moments of pure boredom in class I came down to five types of girls that haunt university halls.
1. The Overachiever. Among her fellow high school students she looked overdressed. Among her fellow university students she still looks overdressed. Blazers, pearls, furry vests, oversized it-bags and perfectly done makeup even when classes start at 9 a.m. – this girls looks like she has already graduated and started looking for a job. An office job. An office job with a strict, very adult-like dress code. She dresses to look the part but she comes off as she's trying too hard (or even worse: as she's older than she really is)
2. The Bad Ass. It's all about black. The black leather jacket and the black leather combat boots are signature items of this girl. Grunge oversized knits in various shades of grey and –what else?- black. Ripped (or really close to getting ripped) tights under barely there skirts or cardigans worn as dresses. Loads of pendants around her neck and stacks of leather bracelets on her wrists; many of them were bought at flea markets, diy-ed or borrowed from friends or boyfriends.
3. The Still-In-High-School. To be honest, I had to see Paul Frank clothing since my 14 year old brother's last birthday party. This girl looks like she's still in high school. Or kindergarten. Because this is the place where the hoodies with dog patterns, claws or paws, animal ears she wears belong to. She carries around the same backpack she used in high school with all her best friends' and favorite bands' names on it. Her backpack even matches her pencil case (her what?). When she's on a girly mood she wears plaid skirts accompanied by various stocking items that make her look like a naughty manga school girl.
4. The Party-Goer. Her uniform consists of a few basic staples: Hoodie, comfy jeans, black sunglasses(to hide under-eye black circles) and wake-me-up coffee cup. Have you ever experienced a hangover? If yes, then you definitely know how hard it is to put together an outfit that consists of overly complicated garments, such as clothes with buttons or zippers. When she decides to make a (day) appearance, the Party-Goer swears by her uniform: the outfit that requires minimum thinking.
5. The Alternative. Her outfits are heavily influenced by her music choices. Now imagine Janis Joplin sitting next to you during English class. You get the idea, right? To describe this style use keywords such as: boho, loose, linen, ill-fitting, pendants with mystical healing powers, stacks of beautiful rings, dusty colors, psychedelic prints, peace, love and a tobacco pouch that matches her woven bag.
But there is another one student figure I'd like to discuss, in a positive, kind manner this time -I promise.
6. The Stylish Guy. Slightly hipesteric; he's the kind of man that The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman would probably spot and photograph from far away. He is well-kept without looking like he tried at all. Sensitive shoes, a Montgomery coat and a fancy yet quiet notebook are his signature items. Oh, and the messy hair as well –the only non-neat part of his outfit.

Slip melting point
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Slip melting point (SMP) or "slip point" is one conventional definition of the melting point of a waxy solid. It is determined by casting a 10 mm column of the solid in a glass tube with an internal diameter of about 1 mm and a length of about 80 mm, and then immersing it in a temperature-controlled water bath. The slip point is the temperature at which the column of the solid begins to rise in the tube due to buoyancy, and because the outside surface of the solid is molten.[1]
This is a popular method for fats and waxes, because they tend to be mixtures of compounds with a range of molecular masses, without well-defined melting points.[2]

"Which is the best performing prison in the country? Which is the prison that is achieving the best reoffending results? …. The answer is we don't know. Seriously we have no idea. This just isn't good enough."
David Cameron, 8 February 2016
On Monday, in his first speech on prison reform, the Prime Minister laid out his vision for a more effective prison service. A critical part of this will be the creation of six "reform prisons" committed to promoting the rehabilitation of offenders and run by more autonomous and empowered governors. This he said would begin to address the failure of an estate that sees nearly half of those it releases go on to reoffend within 12 months and where an average inmate will have 16 convictions.
However, alongside more structural reforms to the estate, Cameron also made clear that a key plank of the Conservative's penal reform strategy must be to increase transparency within the prison service. Central to this will be new publically available prison league tables comparing prisons not only using traditional metrics but also their ability to reduce reoffending and boost offenders' opportunities post-release. Increasing our measurement of prisoner outcomes is an important focus of Reform's upcoming paper on the prison estate – as using more meaningful measures can have a number of advantages for both policy makers and practitioners.
Firstly, greater transparency will enable those working within the system to learn from what works and adapt internal policies and practices accordingly. It will also contribute to innovation as governors try interventions aimed at improving the outcomes these new performance measures will assess.
Secondly, by having a more meaningful understanding of performance Government and the public can better hold prison leaders to account.
Lastly, by clearly defining and measuring outcomes such as reoffending, policymakers can better use tools such as Payment by Results which have driven performance in other sectors.
This move is encouraging. Currently the Government has a number of mechanisms for measuring prison performance – the most widely cited being the independent inspection reports produced by HM Inspectorate of Prisons. However, these fail to contain an assessment of longer term outcomes such as reoffending. Given the potential economic savings outlined above, and that a key part of the prison service's mission statement is to ensure offenders lead law abiding lives on release, this gap in performance measurement is somewhat surprising.
Current performance frameworks do consider the provision of activities which aim to promote rehabilitation such as accredited offender behaviour programmes. However, an understanding of whether prisoners are offered resettlement opportunities cannot begin to tell us whether the provision of programmes are actually successful at improving the life-chances of prisoners on release. Completion numbers alone also fail to provide insight into which programmes or mix of programmes can help address criminal behaviour within specific offender populations.
Improved performance measurement can help ensure prisons build the right structures and processes to improve outcomes whilst also reducing costs. The Prime Minister's calls for greater transparency should therefore be welcomed.

What could be better than being married to a restaurant critic? All those amazing meals at the best restaurants…pure nirvana, right? Well, Lila Soto, the heroine of Elizabeth LaBan's charming new novel, The Restaurant Critic's Wife (Lake Union Publishing; January 5, 2016), might tell you otherwise. Sure the food is heavenly, but the downsides are considerable—especially being married to a man who is obsessed with his job and paranoid to the point of absurdity about being "outed" from his anonymity. Add to the scenario the fact that Lila has given up her own career to follow her husband's job to a new, unfamiliar city, and that she is now a fulltime stay-at-home mom—a gig she never aspired to, despite loving her kids—and you begin to see why Lila is doubting every life decision she's ever made.

My Review
I will admit it: I'm a foodie. I love cooking, reading cookbooks, reading about food, dining out, and reading foodie fiction. I've often thought it would be great fun to be a restaurant critic for a vegetarian magazine. Naturally, I jumped at the chance to review The Restaurant Critic's Wife.
This book was a terrific read. I enjoyed reading about the life of Lila and her husband, restaurant critic Sam. Their trips to restaurants, sometimes incognito, were fascinating.
I really liked Lila as a protagonist. I empathized with her as she settled into life in a new city, especially as she left her job to be a stay-at-home mom. Sam was difficult at times (controlling!), and a big part of the novel centered on their marriage.
This book felt real to me. It had humor, it had touching moments, and it had multi-dimensional, interesting characters.
I would recommend The Restaurant Critic's Wife to other readers who enjoy contemporary women's fiction or a foodie novel.
Author Bio
Elizabeth LaBan lives in Philadelphia with her restaurant critic husband and two children. She is also the author of The Tragedy Paper, which has been translated into eleven languages, and The Grandparents Handbook, which has been translated into seven languages.

Giving someone the joy of life can be a tremendously rewarding experience. Of course, there are a handful of traits you need to make sure that you have, before you agree to this type of arrangement. Are you sure that you have what it takes to give up a baby you've held inside of your womb for nine months? During this period of time, your baby will become a part of your life and you may very well grow attached to this little bundle of joy! Are you sure that you'll be able to give him or her up to another family? This is a big responsibility, but a requirement, if you intend on trying to become a surrogate mother.
How To Become A Surrogate Mother: Things You Need To Know
The Concept and Process to Become a Surrogate Mother.
If you're a healthy, young female, there are a number of different ways for you to become a surrogate mother. For instance, you can actually seek out individuals that are trying to have a baby. Unfortunately, some mothers are cursed with infertility. By agreeing to play this role for them, you can actually make their dreams come true. Wouldn't you love to be able to make a couple's dreams come true? Although everyone would likely yes to this question, it is imperative to consider the entirety of the circumstances!
Ways to Become a Surrogate Mother.
Although it is possible to seek out couples that are in dire need of a surrogate, these individuals may very well approach you. Below, you will find a quick break down of the potential ways to enter into this type of agreement.
- Sign up with an agency.
- Seek our Needy families.
- Be approached by a family in need.
If you feel the need to make something out of your life, you can seek out agencies that are looking for surrogates. At the same time, one of your family members or friends may approach you with an offer. The thought of being able to give someone the joy of life is definitely nice, but you shouldn't rush into a decision!
Pros and Cons of Surrogacy.
Before you agree to become a surrogate mother, it is imperative to break down the pros and cons. The truth of the matter is that giving birth isn't going to be a cakewalk! The process will test your entire soul and psyche. You must make sure that you have the mindset and awareness to be able to muster up the courage to fulfill your duties and provide another family with the gift of a lifetime. Below, you will find the pros and cons of surrogacy.
- Having a baby gives a woman a tremendous sense of purpose, love and meaning. When you agree to the surrogacy process, you are the one providing the woman with this present. This can be tremendously rewarding. In fact, being a surrogate can be one of the most cherished moments in your entire life! The personal satisfaction delivered can provide you with tremendous benefits!
- At the same time, you will be able to make a friend for life. When you give over the baby, the mother will become truly indebted to you for the rest of her life. She'll never forget the effort and torment that you went through, in order to provide her with happiness. With this, she'll always be grateful and you will achieve one of life's most charitable deeds.
- Healthcare can be tremendously expensive. With this in mind, most single women cannot scrape together enough money for insurance. We all know how expensive medications can be nowadays. Well, when you agree to become a surrogate mother, you will be able to receive free healthcare, in the initial stages. All of your visits will be covered by others, which can be very helpful and give you peace of mind regarding your overall health.
- Of course, there are a few cons that should be known, before you agree to become a surrogate mother. Remember that you have to give up the precious bundle of joy in the end. It is likely that you're going to wind up with tears streaming down your face. Are you sure that this is something you're willing to go through?
- Sadly, surrogacy is a wonderful way for women, who are infertile, to be able to achieve one of life's many dreams, but there are some laws that can destroy the process. Unfortunately, some locations have strict laws that will come between you and your aspiring mother. Some mothers will find that these laws are too much of a hoop to suffer through.
How Much do Surrogate Mother Get Paid?
Holding and carrying for a baby for nearly a year can be truly stressful and consuming. In order to make the process a little easier and more rewarding for the surrogate, money is often exchanged. With this in mind, you should discover the particular figures, before you become a surrogate mother. There are several different fees that will be headed your way, in order to encourage you to deliver life to another mother, who cannot.
For starters, you will likely be able to obtain up to $40,000 or $50,000 for your services! Your particular pay will vary depending on your experience, as a surrogate. Some agencies are willing to provide you with extra money, which can be used for birth related items, such as maternity clothing and other monthly expenses! The sheer thrill of giving life and receiving life is truly valuable and no monetary value should be placed on something so wonderful.
How much does surrogacy cost?
Although there are hundreds of women, who are grasping for the opportunity to become a surrogate mother, you should remember that the costs could be somewhat expensive. If you're dying to become a mother to a precious baby, you may be forced to pay massive fees that can reach into the triple digits. With attorney's fees, surrogate costs and medical expenses, the total can reach into one hundred thousands of dollars and sometimes, even more!
The Final Words.
At the end of the day, being on either side of the surrogacy can be difficult, but rewarding. Before you become a surrogate mother, you should ensure that you've got the mental toughness to stick through it, until the end! Once all is said and done, you will be able to give a happy couple one of life's most precious gifts!

Hutton was shit last season so ship him out and put Stecher on notice (also shit).

If you are sure the answer is "no" trade 'em.
If you are not sure, keep 'em and trade MDZ.
Hey, I know how hard it is for a GM, any GM, to abandon a player he brought in but in the case of MDZ, well let's put it this way;
I like his size and he seems to skate ok but to be brutally honest he floats around out there like an air-head.
Confused looking, not emotional ever, either can't or is hesitant to ever join the rush. Sniffs around the dirty areas but seems to be just going through the motions cause he's supposed to.
Barely adequate on the PK and PP, but he can put in the minutes and doesn't seem to get hurt much.
I very much think his ceiling has been reached.
My instinct tells me to offer both Hutton and Stecher show me, 2 year deals.

Jim McElwain says 'more power' to Jim Harbaugh for 'totally legal' camp
Some SEC coaches and even the conference's commissioner took issue with Jim Harbaugh's decision to hold Michigan practices at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., but Florida coach Jim McElwain is not one of them.
At a press conference on Tuesday, McElwain said "more power" to Harbaugh, adding that the Wolverines coach didn't break any NCAA rules by bringing his team to Florida for spring break.
Via SEC Country's Zach Abolverdi:
McElwain on Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh holding practice at IMG: "More power to him. It's totally legal."
— Zach Abolverdi (@ZachAbolverdi) March 8, 2016
Here is McElwain's full quote:
"I kind of look it as more power to him. It's totally legal. He's not doing anything that's illegal. He's pressing the envelopes, he's putting their name in the paper every day. And you know, that's cool. I mean I'd come to Florida, too. There's great players here, right? There's a reason every school in the country comes here and recruits. So I think for them it's trying to gain an edge and give them an opportunity to practice in great weather. I don't plan on taking ours to Michigan. I'm all for what he's doing."
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told CBS Sports that the league attempted to block Michigan from holding the practices and NCAA president Mark Emmert voiced concerns about the "demands on student-athletes." UGA coach Kirby Smart also took issue with Harbaugh's camp.
Florida is set to open spring practices on Wednesday, which will culminate with the Florida spring game on April 8. It is scheduled to be the first ever Orange & Blue Debut to kick off at night.

Alley Theatre
Theatre Production Team Transforms Workflow with Flexible Wireless Intercom Systems
With Clear-Com's Encore partyline and CellCom wireless intercom system, Alley Theatre strengthens teamwork, streamlines workflow, and takes their already superb productions to an even higher level of excellence.
The Alley Theatre has earned national and international recognition, including the Tony Award, for its creative and high quality productions. Through its rich offering of fresh new plays and favored classics, the theatre company has never failed to surpass the expectations of their audience – always guaranteed to deeply inspire the heart, wildly entertain the mind, and captivate the soul.
Based in Houston, Texas, the Alley Theatre supports a company of actors, designers, artisans and craftspeople throughout the year, a trait of American Theatre companies that is few and far between. Productions are developed and rehearsed in the Alley Theatre Center for Theatre Production, which is their state-of-the-art 75,000-square-foot facility. Accompanying this are the 824-seat Hubbard Stage and the 310-seat Neuhaus Stage.
With all the time, money and energy that the production team invests to prepare for the show, it was crucial for all their technologies, especially their voice communication systems, to function exceptionally so that they can deliver a winning performance to their audience every time. According to Pierre Dupree, Sound Supervisor, Alley Theatre, "Live theatre has zero tolerance for failure. Since it is live, if someone misses a cue, we can't go back and fix it because it has already happened. The reliability and quality of our intercom systems is of utmost importance."
For over 10 years, Alley Theatre has been using two UHF wireless intercoms with limited range and four beltpack capacity, two Clear-Com Encore partyline systems, and Clear-Com speaker stations. Although the wired intercoms were still performing remarkably well, coordination with the wireless systems has always been difficult and time consuming. This is evident even more so since the rapid development of their productions, which has demanded more than their wireless systems could deliver. This would thrust the team into unexpected, high-pressure predicaments. To maintain their competitive edge as a distinguished theatre company, the production team agreed that they needed high performance intercoms to effectively facilitate and streamline their workflow.
Business Challenges
Difficulty reaching people and accessing information
The production team members need to correspond with each other, both within and between the Alley Theatre Center for Theatre Production, Hubbard Stage, and Neuhaus Stage. Unfortunately, their wireless systems could only provide sufficient coverage for one theatre, either the Hubbard Stage or the Neuhaus Stage. Those collaborating in the other regions only had access to their wired systems, leaving them isolated from their peers on the wireless intercom and hampering them from carrying out their responsibilities with full efficiency.
Slow turnaround for production changes
Because of the shifting requirements of the varied production landscape, audio had to be re-routed constantly. Nonetheless, the wired partyline main stations had been linked to the wireless systems through a complicated labyrinth of cables due to the layout of the theatres' stage, seating and equipment. Therefore, their only means of changing key assignments for each production was by patching the cables, a process that was both time-consuming and arduous.
Minimize support requirements
Whenever a wireless beltpack ran out of battery life, the user would need to go to the Alley Theatre's only charging station to get it recharged. Although they only had four beltpacks for each wireless system, the process to charge each beltpack was unreasonably tedious. The user would need to turn off the headset, undo the holder, disconnect the headset from the beltpack and then placed it on the charger. An audio technician or the sound supervisor must double check each beltpack for perfect operation after it is charged. In urgent situations, someone must immediately find regular non-rechargeable batteries for the user.
Furthermore, the wireless intercoms and technologies of the event venues located near Alley Theatre would interfere with their own wireless intercoms, hindering conversations and creating communication challenges. For instance, their production will be running smoothly during the preview and opening when, without warning, there will be audio disruption. When interference was at its worst, they would need to respond quickly by shutting down the beltpack and reprogram its frequency. Alternately, the Alley Theatre team wanted an intercom system that would offer reliable coverage even when other sites in the vicinity were operating wireless systems.
Contain costs
The limited range and low beltpack capacity of Alley Theatre's wireless intercom systems left them with a potentially expensive dilemma, which would have been prohibitive for the theatre. They would need to purchase more wireless intercoms to not only enable sufficient coverage across the entire facility, but to have enough beltpacks to accommodate an increasing number of production team members. Integrating these separate wireless systems with the wired partyline intercom was yet another obstacle they would need to overcome.
The Intercom Solution
Choosing Clear-Com
In the test for reliability, Alley Theatre's Clear-Com Encore partyline systems had already passed with flying colors, proving robust even after 10 years of use. With that already positive experience backed by Clear-Com's strong reputation of supplying outstanding solutions for critical applications, Clear-Com was the obvious choice for intercoms.
Dupree asserts, "Because the reliable performance of intercom systems is what matters most, we immediately recognized the value of and our continued need for Clear-Com, the number one brand in high quality theatre communications equipment."
Alley Theatre made a radical departure from their legacy wireless intercoms by selecting Clear-Com's CellCom 1.9 GHz base station, eight CEL-TA active transceiver antennas, 13 CellCom wireless beltpacks, and CellCom battery pack and plug chargers. The CellCom base station, which was flawlessly integrated with the Encore partyline systems in the Hubbard Stage and Neuhaus Stage, was installed in the front of house position of the Neuhaus Stage.
The antennas were distributed throughout the four-story facility to optimize communications coverage, allowing users to freely roam within the coverage area without losing connection. Overall, the full-featured CellCom wireless system added enormous value, enabling Alley Theatre to achieve their objectives and improve their productions in a way that would further differentiate them.
Many of their staff continued to make use of Clear-Com's Encore main station, RS-500 Series wired beltpacks, and speaker stations to share information including the video board operator, spotlight operator, lighting board operator, video designer, sound designer, lighting designer, technical director, master electrician, lighting supervisor, FOH sound engineer, production manager, stage manager and backstage deck crew.
The assistant stage managers and backstage deck crew, which are always moving, relied on CellCom to converse with each other as well as those with wired beltpacks. Likewise, the wardrobe supervisor, costume shop manager, and wardrobe crew are connected to everyone else, but also have a private channel of communication via CellCom. Additionally, the deck electrician used CellCom for information exchange with the lighting and sound operators. From team-wide paging announcements to restricted conversations as well as from rehearsal to performance, Clear-Com made it possible for them to collaborate closely and successfully execute productions.
Business Results
Improved teamwork and collaboration
The CellCom wireless beltpacks have extended communications capability to every corner of the Alley Theatre facility. By being much more connected, information flowed easier so that responsibilities could be carried out without delay.
"The range that CellCom provides is wonderful. Whether the crew needs to communicate with the stage manager from the dressing rooms, the green room, and backstage or in the front of house in either theatre, we're guaranteed to be covered," says Dupree.
Flexible systems accelerate issue resolution
The CellCom Configuration Editor, which is part of the CellCom Toolkit software, enables ultra-fast configuration as well as complete management of the CellCom wireless system. Volume adjustments, key assignments, and real-time label applications for CellCom wireless beltpacks can be performed carte blanche from the CellCom base station or any computer with the software over IP. Dupree states, "We can easily create partylines or reroute how the wireless system interfaces with the wired unit very quickly and efficiently through the CellCom software." Because of this added flexibility, the Alley Theatre team is more prepared to respond to production changes or emergencies.
Create a more efficient work environment with better coverage
Every major challenge from their previous wireless intercoms was resolved by the CellCom wireless beltpacks and chargers. Dupree identifies the tremendous benefits of having the CellCom chargers, "We appreciate the ease with which we can recharge the beltpacks through the integrated charging stations or plug-in cords. It saves time and money and is great for the environment." Since the CellCom plug chargers are placed by the sound console and throughout the backstage area, users can conveniently connect their beltpacks to the plug chargers without having to remove the battery pack, headset or cover. Further, the CellCom battery pack charger allows them to have extra battery packs charged and ready to go whenever they are needed.
In addition, CellCom's unique DECT operations in the license-free 1.92-1.93 GHz band offered dependable, interference-free communications from the production's start to finish. "We love how the frequencies that CellCom uses are in the 1.9GHz band, far away from any of our and other's equipment, making the system more reliable and less prone to reception issues," claims Dupree. "The reception and sound quality of the CellCom beltpacks are absolutely fantastic with the audio coming through very, very clearly. They are much better than the audio quality of other wireless communication products." Evidently, Clear-Com dramatically transformed the Alley Theatre's work culture by eliminating the burden of frequency coordination and allowing them to have a peace of mind even when other venues were using wireless devices.
Complete, future-proof communications infrastructure
CellCom, a powerful and expandable wireless intercom system, offered more than enough capability for their escalating production requirements. CellCom supported up to 20 wireless beltpacks and seamlessly interfaced not only with Alley Theatre's existing wired and wireless systems, but could be extended through integration with any new technologies. Instead of having to purchase multiple wireless systems, CellCom alone was sufficient.
"CellCom was really the only viable, value-added product available that would allow at least 10 beltpacks to operate in both of our playing spaces. This was no small feat since the two areas are in completely different parts of the complex," says Dupree. "It also permitted us to build upon our past investments since we were able to link it with our wired Clear-Com system."
All in all, with greater control over their communications, the Alley Theatre team is better equipped to design, create and manage productions. Clear-Com's intercom systems improved production delivery and quality on every level, giving the audience at Alley Theatre the greatest opportunity to truly appreciate artistic excellence.

Media & Entertainment Law
Publisher: Routledge
Author: Ursula Smartt
Price: £34.99
Edition: 2nd Edition (March 2014)
Buy from Routledge: Click Here
Since the last edition of Media & Entertainment Law was published in April 2011, there has been a continued increase (and focus) on media and entertainment law. This has led (as Smartt acknowledges in her preface) to a "fully revised publication at a time when legislation is fast changing, particularly in the entertainment branch of the law". It includes, for example, consideration of the Defamation Act 2013 and important decisions including McAlpine v Bercow [2013] EWHC 1342 (QB). The aim of Ursula Smartt's Media & Entertainment Law remains, however, the same: to help students tackling this fast-moving area of law for the first time.
Written by an experienced academic, Ursula Smartt from the University of Surrey, Media & Entertainment Law is separated into ten chapters: media freedom; privacy and confidentiality; defamation; contempt of court; reporting legal proceedings; freedom of public information; obscenity laws, extreme pornography and censorship; copyright I: intellectual property; copyright II: entertainment law; and regulatory authorities. The coverage is a challenging but achievable gallop through various (and key) areas of law for any media or entertainment lawyer.
Despite covering such a wide range of legal topics, Media & Entertainment Law feels both well-structured and accessibly laid out. For me, the most striking feature of the text is its readability: pages are quickly turned and key points are driven home by the use of excellent examples. For example, Smartt considers the topical issue of liability for comments made on social media. While this is a growing and developing topic, useful reference is made to the developing case law (including reference to the use of Norwich Pharmacal orders against giants like Facebook). References to the case-law really underpins the reader's learning.
Ursula Smartt's Media & Entertainment Law is a thought-provoking account of the law but, at the same time, written in a practical way. Its practical approach is, however, underpinned by theory which allows the reader to properly understand the law. I was a fan of the first edition and I am also a fan of this second edition. Unlike the first edition, there does not appear to be any companion website (which is somewhat surprising given the subject; even a webpage with all of the links would be very useful). Media & Entertainment Law will, however, continue to develop into an important text for anyone studying this fast-developing area of law.

One thing I have never heard anyone say is "that was a lovely move – it was just so easy." Moving apartments or homes is something I hear others grumble about over and over (and with good reason!) so when Justin and I were planning the move to our new place a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't exactly looking forward to the moving process (to say the least). While the move to a new place is really exciting, the move itself is often tedious, exhausting and really expensive! As the eternal optimist, I thought there had to be some things we could do to make the move more enjoyable and efficient. We succeeded on some levels and learned some good lessons. If you have an upcoming move, here are 17 steps we either took or wish we took to make our move as easy and frugal as possible.
– Only move what you want to keep. Before you move is a great time to do some cleaning out. Is there any furniture you want to sell, gift or donate? Why pay to move things that you don't want to have in your new place. A deep clean (Marie Kondo style) of what you have is a great exercise to do BEFORE you move. It makes it a lot easier and more pleasurable to unpack PLUS you aren't paying to pack and move things that you aren't going to keep anyway
– Do some organizing in advance to save yourself time. While we had the luxury of someone packing us up (more on this below), I wanted to do a bit of organizing so that things were easier to unpack when we arrived at our new place. For example, I put all of our picture frames in one place because I didn't think they necessarily needed to be moved with their current rooms. I wanted a fresh start in deciding where to put them.
– Pack an overnight bag. While you might be sleeping in your new place that very night, it might be hard to find your toiletries or pajamas depending on where you are in the unpacking process. If you pack an overnight bag in advance, it makes the first night a lot more comfortable and less stressful. No need to scramble to find your toothbrush or soap.
– Envision your new place. One of the most difficult parts of having someone else unpack for you, is having to tell them where to put things in your new home. I wish I did a bit more thinking through where I wanted things to go before they arrived during the move. The furniture is important but I'd even think through what will go in each room and even each drawer. This planning becomes really helpful when the movers are asking you which room to put a moving box in.
– Pack your valuables separately. Anything you want to move yourself can be packed up in advance and kept by your side during the moving process. This includes, cash, jewelry, family heirlooms, and luckily, a lot of this stuff isn't that big or cumbersome.
– Get free packing materials. If you are going to pack the boxes yourself, there are some great options to get free boxes and packing materials but you will want to ask in advance. Nearby grocery and liquor stores are probably throwing away boxes from shipments that come in each week. Ask them if they would be willing to give you their old boxes instead of throwing them out. You can even use old clothes/socks to save on padding like bubble wrap. If you're packing laundry baskets and the like, you can use them to pack as well. This is also much more green!
– Organize parking. Depending on where you are moving to and from, you might need to get a parking permit for your moving van or U-Haul to stay in the street. Make sure to this in advance to avoid costly tickets!
– Cheapest might cost you more money in the long run. Cheaper is not always better. If you pay someone hourly and they end up taking much longer than expected, break things or even damage your new (or old) home during the move, you can lose your security deposit as a renter or incur repair charges to your new home as a homeowner. That being said, you don't want to overpay for services either. This is why I put a lot of weight on reviews — what were other people's experience with these movers?
– Due your diligence. We used a site called Unpackt that allowed us to say exactly what we were moving and provided quotes from multiple movers. We didn't just go with the cheapest one, we know how important it is to have someone do it well so we also factored in the ratings and reviews.
– Flat-rate eased my mind. I prefer paying a flat rate for a move than paying by the hour. I remember in a previous move we had 3 movers and they were moving really slowly. I don't blame them but as I watched the time pass by, all I could think about is how much more expensive this would be than the quote! It stressed me out!
– Move yourself. Depending on how much stuff you're moving and how much your friends love you (just kidding!), you might be able to pull off a move all on your own.
– Having someone pack and unpack might be worth it. Time is money and at 7 months pregnant, I wasn't going to be that helpful in the moving process anyway. We were able to pay a few extra hundred dollars to have the movers pack and unpack us. Not one thing was broken because professional movers packed it up! They also provided the boxes and packaging materials. Imagine, we woke up that morning in a completely unpacked house and were moved to a new place by that evening. It was quite the luxury but was worth every penny!
– If you have children (or pets), sitters may be worth it, too. If you're moving in the same city and have small children, it may be less stressful for everyone involved to invest in a sitter the day of the move. Family and friends may be willing to help out free of charge!
– Keep them happy. I thought it was a small price to pay (included in our moving budget) to get our movers lunch. They really appreciated the gesture and we were getting hungry too so it was a win-win. Nothing fancy is necessary. Order some pizza or get some sandwiches.
– Know your rights. Read the fine print of the moving contract. If something were to break, how do they handle it? Do they charge extra for stairs or if they have to use additional boxes? These are things that are helpful to know BEFORE you move. During a previous move, my roommate and I had a lot of furniture break and the repairs were not done in a way that we found satisfactory so we took the moving company to small claims court and were able to get reimbursed for the new furniture.
– Don't forget tip! If you don't include this in your moving budget, it can throw things off.
– Check if you are eligible for a tax deduction. If you are moving for work, you may be able to write off the move. If this is the case, keep all receipts and expense records handy for easy reference.

We are delighted to offer a comprehensive literacy programme which focuses on developing students' Reading, Writing, and Communication skills across all areas of school life.
All Hele's staff are aware of the importance of ensuring our learners are effective communicators and we take every opportunity to guide and enthuse learners with a love of the English language in all its forms. Our commitment to improving literacy is outlined in our Literacy SOP which can be downloaded below.
Please click on the tabs below to browse the selection of literacy strategies which are part of every student's day-to- day life at Hele's School. If you require any further information regarding our literacy programme please contact Mr Fonseca (Assistant Principal) at firstname.lastname@example.com
Our School Library
Our Library is open to students before school, during break and lunchtime and after school. The Librarians and their team of staff and students are always on hand to help and advise the students. The Library is also used regularly by class teachers to encourage students to read for research. As well as an excellent range of books and e-books, which is regularly updated, students have access to computers and a range of online sources that the school is registered to use, including Issues Online and the Newspapers for Schools NewsLibrary website. All Year 7 students have a dedicated 'Library Lesson' twice a term as part of their English curriculum and older students are given 'refresher' sessions to help them make good use of the library.
The new fresh re-design for the School Library is very appealing to staff and students alike. There is a welcoming feel on arrival in an open plan setting. Comfortable seating is arranged throughout the ground floor and creative use of moveable shelving allows our students to browse freely for books to satisfy their reading interests. Fiction is arranged into genre categories downstairs where there is also dedicated Accelerated Reader area to support Year 7 and Year 8 in their daily use of the AR programme. Non-fiction books can be found at the top of the stairs, arranged in Dewey Decimal order. More comfortable seating is a very welcome addition to the mezzanine floor level, particularly during lunch break when small groups like to gather to read factual books like the ever-popular Guinness Book of World Records. The Study Area upstairs is light and airy and an ideal place to concentrate on school work. It also has 15 laptops available for student use, a flexible resource for our school community.
DEAR Time and Accelerated Reader
DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) Time
All Y7 and 8 students are given 30 minutes of lesson time every day for reading. Students are expected to read a book of their choice on most occasions, although the reading may, on occasion, be directed by the teacher.
Accelerated Reader
AR encourages students to make challenging and enjoyable reading choices, and monitors how well the students are reading the books they have chosen. It also has an impact on improving key literacy skills, such as spelling, vocabulary and sentence structure. The programme is tailored to meet each student's individual needs through personalised targets and progress checks.
Once a student completes a book they will take a quiz. The students aim to achieve 85% or above in each quiz they take, and this also enables them to accumulate points towards a target. Their point score enables them to qualify for a range of prizes, including certificates, pens, bookmarks, trophies, vouchers and reward trips.
Accelerated Reader has had a significant impact on our students' engagement with books and reading, however, from time to time, some may need a little more support. We monitor students' progress throughout the programme, and we offer a reading mentor programme for students who require support.
Subject Specific Wider Reading
Wider reading and research plays a vital role in consolidating and reinforcing deeper learning. This will become increasingly important as the new GCSE specifications come into effect. As a result our curriculum teams supply carefully chosen reading material (fiction or non-fiction) which extends and enriches learning in their subject area
Some suggestions for texts have included:
- Novels with thematic links to the subject
- Research articles
- Magazine/newspaper articles which focus on subject related issues
Post 16 teachers have also created a recommended reading list for current and prospective students. Details of the suggested texts can be found here.
Challenge 100
The English Department are challenging students of all year groups to read their way through as many of the 100 classical texts (that are on a set list) as possible. They have a range of texts that can be selected, from the epic Greek tale of The Odyssey to the crazy sci-fi of H.G. Wells. My personal favourite so far has been Dracula, Mrs Wolf is moving on to the Fall of the House of Usher, or they could join Mrs Pomfret in reading Crime and Punishment! This challenge is about promoting a love of reading but also the importance of wider reading for developing vocabulary and understanding. There will be prizes at the end for different categories! For more information email Miss Bensaid firstname.lastname@example.com
E-Books & the E-Reader project
The School Library is able to offer access to the Library Service for Schools e-book platform, managed by Wheelers. The link here will take you to the site. Please contact Mrs Wolf in the School Library to be given a unique login. Each e-book is on loan for two weeks and will automatically expire after this time, though there is also an option to extend the loan period by renewing it. Currently, the choice of books isn't huge but it will grow as more students make use of this exciting alternative to paper books.
E-books are also available through the City of Plymouth's Library Service and staff and students with a public library card are strongly encouraged to try this option. The public library e-book website can be found here . To contact our nearest public library please ring 01752 305630 or email email@example.com and the staff will help set up a PIN to let you gain access to an excellent range of e-books.
The School Library E-Reader project has the use of 17 tablets donated to Hele's School by The Rotarians. We use e-reader technology to overcome barriers to reading enjoyment with selected groups of year 7 and year 8 students. E-readers allow the reader to quickly find out a word's meaning without disrupting the flow of reading. This helps with developing a broad vocabulary and helps improve fluency of reading. E-readers also allow the reader to change text size, background colour and font, according to the needs of the reader.
Last year, Year Nine English classes participated in a 'Readathon' which seeks to promote reading for pleasure, whilst simultaneously raising money for the charity which provides storytellers for children in hospital. As their own website attests, 'the money raised provides children's hospitals with regular storyteller visits, plus a mobile bookcase jam-packed full of brand-new books, which are replenished every six weeks'. We will be looking to undertake a brand new Readathon this year, so watch this space!
Carnegie Awards Shadowing Event
Six students in Year 7 last year represented Hele's School at the annual shadowing event of the Carnegie Children's Book Award, which on this occasion we were delighted to be hosting in the Lecture Theatre. Having welcomed schools from across Plymouth, the students performed their presentation on Francis Hardinge's 'The Lie Tree' with style and vivacity, communicating the characters and themes with undoubted enthusiasm! A much larger group of students had worked on the text in the prior weeks and had enjoyed taking part in the shared reading of this story. We are already looking forward to finding out which book we will be allocated next time around!
National Poetry Day
To celebrate National Poetry Day, Hele's staff found their inner poet and surprised students with spontaneous readings of their favourite poems! Our anthology of poems can be viewed here.
'The Big Write'
Students currently undertake extended writing tasks on a regular basis in a wide variety of subjects. Building on this, every department will work with students to produce an extended piece of writing each year which will be completed in a number of stages, including drafting and redrafting, and will be developed over a period of time, consolidating the techniques learned in English.
NOTE: We are in the process of redeveloping our Extended Writing policy to maximise student progress. Please check back here for details
Literacy Marking
All staff use the school's standard symbols when marking work for literacy. These symbols are made available to students through classroom posters and on p19 of their planners. Through consistent feedback across all subject areas, we are able to support students' vocabulary development and technical accuracy.
DIRT Time (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time)
Students are given regular class time to read and respond to teachers' feedback, including improving and extending their responses and correcting any spelling or grammatical errors. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for the quality of their work and to take every opportunity to move it closer to excellence.
Year 7 Word of the Week
Since September 2016, the Year 7 students have been using something known as Tier 2 Vocabulary. This initiative has already been trialled in several states in America. There is a wealth of research that suggests mastery of these types of words can lead to quick educational gains by empowering students in having confidence in their own intellect. The research goes on to suggest that this work can even enrich the students' everyday lives as they become more able to express themselves.
Tier 1 vocabulary involves words that we use in our everyday conversations (book, pencil etc.) whilst Tier 3 vocabulary are low frequency words that are very specific to a certain area (isotope, alliteration etc.). Tier 2 vocabulary consists of words that occur in mature conversations.
As this is a trial, we have only focused on one word a week as a year group and encouraged all Year 7 teachers to incorporate the word into their lessons. The words so far include variable, hypothesis, sustainable, chronological, adjacent, unanimous and more. The plan is to check recall of these words as well as spelling and usage and then to continue if these checks prove to be successful.
Voice 21
Hele's School is proud to be one of only 11 schools across the country participating in an Education Endowment Fund project with national charity Voice 21 to focus on developing students verbal communication skills. The pilot has been launched following concerns that young people's social mobility and job prospects are hampered by a lack of focus on developing speaking skills in schools.
The pilot is supported by new research which calls for a much greater emphasis on teaching all children and young people spoken communication skills, to improve social mobility, employability, educational achievement and well-being.
Research has shown that the majority of teachers and school leaders in the state sector think verbal communication is as important, if not more so, than traditional areas such as literacy and numeracy.
Year 7 pupils have a dedicated hour of oracy each week as part of their English curriculum. Pupils are taught how to find their voice, speak confidently, perform for an audience and develop cognitive and reasoning skills. This enables them to confidently speak to a wide variety of audiences and use rhetoric to argue and debate their ideas. The feedback we have received so far from teachers and pupils is very positive. They are both thoroughly enjoying the experience!
Debating society
The debating society was started in 2015 as a vehicle for our students to express themselves, find their unique voice and become effective orators. We meet each Wednesday and are an eclectic bunch of year 8-13s. We use the Mace style of debating, which is quite formal but can still lead to some very exciting and interesting debates.
We compete in the English Speaking Union's national debating competition and reached the regional finals last year. We have one-off workshops with expert debaters and will be working with the University of Plymouth's debating team shortly.
Being part of the debating society enables pupils to explore the thorny issues which affect their day to day lives and wider matters of social importance. They develop excellent argument skills and become accomplished public speakers; skills which will serve them well in the world outside of school.
'Speed Up' Handwriting Intervention
On beginning at Hele's School all students sit an entry handwriting assessment where they are asked to write a piece of writing about themselves and their life. This piece of writing is then carefully assessed by highly expertise members of staff who will comment and evaluate the presentation of handwriting and identify which students will require handwriting intervention.
These students and their parents are then informed of the handwriting intervention programme we run in school called 'Speed Up'. This programme helps the student improve the presentation and quality of their handwriting.
The 'Speed Up' programme is based a range of exercises and fun activities without the use of traditional pen and paper. This programme has helped our students make excellent progress and achieve excellent exam results.
The programme runs once a week for 8 weeks. Students will attend a 1 hour session each week during school hours where they will be withdrawn from a non-core subject. Students will be assessed at the beginning of the programme on how many words per minute they can write and then again at the end of the 8 weeks programme to see if any progress has been made to their words per minute score.
Group and Paired Reading support
Some students benefit from additional support to develop their reading skills so we run two kinds of groups in the Library, paired reading and group reading. In both cases, students gain confidence from further reading practice and are helped to develop techniques to improve their understanding of the books they choose to read.
Whole School Focus
Each half term we have a different whole school focus for literacy. This is communicated to students through assemblies and daily notices and is a focus during their lessons for that half term.
SOUND Training
English students in Year 7 have recently benefitted from taking part in a six-week-long programme of reading improvement entitled SOUND Training. This programme works on developing students' abilities with regards to recognising the building blocks of our language, the phonemes which represent the sounds of particular letter patterns, and thereby improves their sight-reading competence. By working with a SOUND Training coordinator for an hour per week for six weeks, the students gradually worked through ever more complex vocabulary, with the result that the twenty-strong group demonstrated a vastly improved reading age by the end of this short programme. We will be looking to relaunch the scheme with a select group of students this year.
READ/WRITE Inc.
In addition to their modified SOLs, a select group of students are working through parts of the Read Write Inc. programme as part of their English lessons. Though initially under the oversight of the SEN department, intervention class teachers are now using the published booklets of the scheme to develop both reading and writing through a phonics-based approach. Read Write Inc. has proved to be an incredibly successful development strategy in several other schools and we are confident that our students will benefit from being part of this exciting project.
'Fifteen Minutes of Literacy'
During daily tutor sessions, students in KS3/4 are given time, once a week, to read and discuss their books and to change them in the School Library.
Parental Involvement
In July 2015 our Literacy Parent Focus Group met for the first time to talk through our plans for Accelerated Reader. Thank you to all parents who attended or gave their thoughts via email. This was a great start to our new initiative and we look forward to working closely with parents in future. If you would like to be part of our Parent Focus Group please email email@example.com so that we can keep you updated regarding forthcoming events.
We know that many of you do not have the time to take part in our organised events but we are keen to ensure you are kept up to date with your children's progress in literacy. From September, we will be asking parents to sign planners regularly to indicate that they are aware of their child's reading progress and to give them the opportunity to communicate with key staff. Letters will be sent home, both celebrating success and highlighting concerns regarding students' reading. We encourage parents to take an active involvement in their children's reading. Please follow the link here for suggestions from the Literacy Trust on supporting your Secondary School child with their reading.

Jay YOUNGER
Jay Younger is a public art curator, artist and educator with over thirty years of professional practice.
Jay has undertaken public art projects within State Government, Local Council, and Corporate contexts. Since 1998 Jay has completed seven permanent public art curatorial projects, which range in both budget and client objectives. Diverse curatorial approaches have been realised for artistic, educational, medical/scientific, judicial, and parkland leisure contexts and include the acclaimed Brisbane Magistrate's Courts. Currently Jay is curating a large scale sculptural screen for Queensland Performing Arts Centre which is in design development.
Jay has a thorough knowledge of the artistic field and contemporary ideas relevant to integrated art and architecture practice, which is vital to delivering innovative and engaging projects. Her research base is extensive having completed two undergraduate visual art qualifications and three Postgraduate qualifications in education and visual art and in 2011 she was awarded her PhD within the arena of public art practice (jointly supervised between the visual art and architecture areas of UNSW).
For Younger it is important to emphasise the role of art within the public sphere. Art that appears in the public realm and activates public space, is not only political it makes space public thereby linking freedom of artistic expression to democratic principles. Furthermore, public art can be seen as opening up a space within the public sphere where difference can be seen and experienced.
Significant permanent public art projects curated by Younger are: Brisbane Magistrates Courts including 14 Queensland artists (2002-04) and Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law including Yayoi Kusama, Sally Gabori, and Gemma Smith (2008-12). In June 2013 QEII COL received the Art and Architecture Award from the Australian Institute of Architects. The impact of her success in the field of public art has been acknowledged in receiving the AIA President's Award in 2012. Currently Jay is the lead curator of the Gateways Public Art Commission for the Commonwealth Games and the Gold Coast (2016-17).
As an experienced public artist herself, Jay has great insight into the guidance and management of artists within the creative process. In her artistic capacity, Jay has worked extensively across media including site specific installation, sculpture, photography, sound, video, and multi media. In 2011 Jay produced two new major installation artworks — one a kinetic hydraulic installation and the other a video and kinetic sculpture installation. All of Jay's creative abilities are utilised to solve challenging and ambitious problems within a dynamic collaborative process.

Just as adults need to build a foundation for strength training with exercises in balance and proper form and movement, children also require practice and strategies that match their age and fitness levels.
Young athletes may feel better about themselves as they get stronger.
The goal of strength training is not to bulk up. It should not be confused with weight lifting, bodybuilding, and powerlifting, which are not recommended for kids and teens. Kids and teens who do those sports can risk injuring their growing bones, muscles, and joints.
Strength training is the practice of using free weights, weight machines, and rubber resistance bands, or body weight to build muscles. With resistance the muscles have to work harder to move. When the muscles work harder, they grow stronger and more efficient.
Strength training can also help fortify the ligaments and tendons that support the muscles and bones and improve bone density, which is the amount of calcium and minerals in the bone. And the benefits may go beyond physical health.
During childhood kids improve their body awareness, control and balance through active play.
However as early as age 13 strength training can become a valuable part of an overall fitness plan as long as the youth is mature enough to follow directions and practice proper technique and form.
It's important to remember that strength training is one part of a total fitness program. It can play a vital role in keeping your child healthy and fit, along with aerobic exercise such as biking and running, adequate hydration, and healthy nutrition.
At the moment Tony is using strength training with three young rugby boys aged between 12 to 17 years. Their enjoyment of their games has shot up due to their improvement in strength and fitness which has allowed them to compete strongly for longer periods of the game.
We also have a 16 year old young lady who's body strength has improved dramatically that she is cutting through the water and not only has her lap time improved but she is pumping out length after length in the pool.
If you have any questions just ask one of our amazing trainers and lets get your young adult family members off to a fantastic training start and help them build confidence in living a healthy lifestyle for years to come.

- Product Cost: $5
- Tax: $.40
- Envelope: $.01
- Stamp: $42
- Rebate: -$5
So for your FREE after rebate item, you will actually pay $.83! Now you have to decide if that item is worth all the work and the $.83. There is also the issue of timing. Mail in rebates have deadlines. If you miss the deadline, you will not receive your money back. So you are stuck with a product that you have now spent $5.83 and may or may not use.
One upside to mail in rebate offers is that you can use a coupon for the product when you purchase it. Say you buy a $5 scrubber. You use a $1/1 MFG for the scrubber. You will turn in the rebate for the total $5 amount (try to buy at least one other item in that same transaction or you may get the money back less the coupon). After using the $1/1 MFG, your item is truly FREE. In fact, you will make $.17 after all is said and done. That is really the key. If I do not have a coupon for a MIR item, I will probably not purchase it unless I know I will use it.
Hopefully you now have a greater understanding of what is really involved in requesting samples and rebates. If you have any thoughts or questions on the matter, please leave a comment here! Come back later for Part E: Combining Coupons.

The lowdown
On a chilly Sept. 28, visiting Kenston was defeated by Mayfield, 38-12.
Starting with the opening kickoff, this game was dominated by the Wildcats. After a three-and-out by the Bombers' offense, Mayfield marched down the field and scored on a 7-yard touchdown pass from freshman Michael Huss to senior Bobby Casey. Two possessions later, Huss connected with Casey again for a 59-yard score.
After junior Mayfield running back Josh Appling ran for a 1-yard touchdown, it seemed as if the first half was all Wildcats.
However, the Bombers got on the scoreboard before half, as sophomore quarterback Jon Tomcufcik connected with senior wide receiver Kee-Shaun Merrill for a 29-yard touchdown.
Heading into the second half, the Wildcats kept their foot on the pedal as they added two more touchdowns and a field goal.
Top players
Leading the charge for the victorious Wildcats was Huss. In the first start of his high school career, the freshman threw for 157 yards and three touchdowns, two of which were to Casey. Appling, in a shortened game due to injury, scampered for two touchdowns on 161 yards.
For the Bombers, Tomcufcik was one of the lone bright spots as he threw for one touchdown and 148 yards.
Stat attack
In addition to his two touchdowns, Casey had 96 total yards.
Kenston's quarterbacks had a hand in both of their touchdowns. Tomcufcik connected on the first one, and senior James Burg lofted a pass into the end zone for touchdown No. 2.
They said it
Mayfield assistant Michael Verdi >> "We were happy with our kids out there. That's what it came down to — our kids' effort. They worked hard in practice on a short week. They were here Sunday morning at 8 a.m. They earned this one on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday. They worked really hard and we're proud of them."
Kenston coach Jeff Grubich >> "Get in. Take a look at the film. Coach our guys up and get them better. That's the end goal. Right now, we have to take a look at the film real close. Hats off to Mayfield. I told their head coach he did an excellent job getting his guys prepared. They had a great game plan to come in and protect that freshman quarterback. I have to give credit to Mayfield. They were ready to play and we weren't."
Up next
Mayfield travels to Madison, while Kenston travels to Riverside.

Prof John Hyman
Fellow in Philosophy
Professor of Aesthetics
Tutor for Undergraduates
I did my undergraduate and graduate studies at St. John's College, Oxford, and joined Queen's in 1988, after spending a year as a Research Fellow at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Since then, I've mostly taught in Oxford, though I've also spent a few years teaching or researching elsewhere, mostly overseas. I was a Getty Scholar at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles in 2001-02, a Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin in 2002 -03, a Leverhulme Major Research Fellow in 2010-12, a Visiting Professor at Peking University, Beijing in 2011, and Professeur Invité at the Université Paris-Sorbonne in 2014-15. I currently hold a Santander Cátedra de Excelencia at the Univ. Carlos III de Madrid, and I shall be a Sackler Scholar at the Sackler Institute of Advanced Studies, Tel-Aviv in 2017-18. I've edited the British Journal of Aesthetics since 2008. The journal's website is here. A brief introduction to my work in philosophy of art can be downloaded here.
